You'll make this easy peach cobbler recipe again & again! Because juicy peaches + buttery topping + vanilla ice cream = a match made in heaven.
This peach cobbler recipe has been a long time coming. If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you know that peaches are my favorite part of summer. I add them to salads, serve them with cheese, top them onto pizza, and, of course, devour them plain. Given all the peach recipes I’ve made over the years, it’s high time I shared a more classic, easy peach cobbler recipe.
Homemade peach cobbler can go in a few directions. Sometimes a sweet, cake-like batter surrounds the fruit, while other times a biscuit-like topping covers it. Still other times, a light, flaky dough dots the peaches. Because I’m a huge fan of fruit crisps, I opted for the third kind, sprinkling my peaches with crumbles of a simple, 7-ingredient cobbler topping.
Because peak-season peaches are so sweet & juicy on their own, it doesn’t take much to transform them into a delicious dessert. This easy peach cobbler recipe calls for just 10 ingredients, and peaches are truly the star of the show. Since I’m a peach purist, I don’t sweeten them, simmer them, or peel them but I do drizzle them with a little lemon juice for brightness. I dot them with the topping – a mix of flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and coconut oil – and serve it all with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Naturally sweet and brimming with peachy flavor, this one’s an essential late summer treat.
How to Make Peach Cobbler
Like most fruit crisps and crumbles, this cobbler recipe comes together with minimal effort. Here’s all you need to do:
- Slice your peaches into eighths and layer them into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Drizzle them with lemon juice!
- Stir together the topping ingredients until they combine to form a crumbly dough.
- Sprinkle the dough over the peaches, and bake in a 400-degree oven until the topping is lightly golden brown and the peaches are juicy, about 30 minutes.
- Scoop into bowls with vanilla ice cream, and dig in while it’s still warm. Enjoy!
Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe Tips
As the ultimate peach fan, I’ve been making peach desserts for years. Here are my best tips for making one that’s pitch-perfect every time:
- Get your peaches ahead of time. Whenever I go to the store looking for the perfect peach, the ones I find are always rock-hard or too mushy. If you want to make a great peach cobbler, buy your fruit a few days in advance and let it ripen on your counter. When the peaches are soft, you’re ready to bake! (After they ripen, you can also store them in the fridge for up to a few days.)
- Err on the side of more fruit, not less. You want the peaches to cover the bottom of your pan completely, so overlap the slices as needed. As you can see in the photos above, I even have a double layer of fruit in some places!
- Leave some clumps. Nothing beats a bite of peach cobbler with a big lump of golden brown, buttery dough, so don’t break up the cobbler topping too much as you sprinkle it over the fruit!
- Serve with vanilla ice cream. I love all fruit desserts with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I especially recommend it here. This cobbler is still good on its own, but the ice cream gives it a delectable “peaches & cream” finish. If ice cream’s not your thing, a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream would be excellent too.

My family loved this recipe!! Made it this weekend but had to sub in some blueberries to make the filling more substantial (my kids couldn’t resist this sliced peaches!) It still turned out wonderful with the peach/blueberry mixture. Thank you for another family favorite!
I’m so glad everyone loved it!
My kids and I had fun making this together — and so yummy!
Delicious and so easy to make. I made it earlier in the day as we were having company for dinner. When it was time for dessert, I just reheated it a little bit in the microwave. Served it with vanilla ice cream and it was so tasty. Everyone love it! The perfect summer dessert when peaches are in season and you don’t want to spend a lot of in the kitchen.
I’m so glad you loved it!
Very yummy! I actually doubled the cobbler recipe. When I made the first batch I didn’t seem to get the amount of coverage I wanted over the peaches so I made another batch and that seemed to be a good amount. It was a hit!
I’m so glad to hear it was a hit!
We loved this recipe and will be making it many more times! It was delicious, incredibly easy, and very quick to make. I was especially happy to not have to peel the peaches and thought it even made for a better dish, helping to maintain the peaches structure and prevent them from becoming mushy. My 2 year old son sprinkled the topping on with his little fingers. We had a lot of fun making this recipe together and he was excited to tell his grandparents that he helped make it when we enjoyed it that day. I was pleasantly surprised that it is even vegan, so we can make it for vegan guests. Definitely recommend this recipe, the results far exceed the effort.
Aww, I’m so glad he enjoyed making it for the family 🙂
This was so good! The perfect summer dessert, and BONUS, it was super easy and quick to throw together on a weeknight.
This was so easy and good! Wish my photo would have shown how wonderful it tasted! Will be making again and again!
Very easy and quick to make, and I love that I could use the peaches I bought from the farmers market. The peaches I got were HUGE so I doubled the topping and it was a perfect ratio. Also, this cobbler is not overly sweet which is nice when paired with ice cream.
Easy recipe but this topping would be most improved with an addition of rolled oats I think.
Just made this, and I was underwhelmed. There needs to be more juice/liquid for the peaches to get all gooey. I doubled the topping, and I’m glad I did, because as it’s written, there’s not nearly enough for a good fruit to topping ratio. I did like the “sugar cookie” topping, but it also needs a little more liquid, felt too dry.
I’ve never made cobbler before but this recipe seemed so doable so I tried it. We absolutely loved it! Will be making a lot more cobbler in the near future. I used butter this time around but eager to try coconut oil too as I’ve always loved the fragrance of coconut oil.
I’m so glad you loved it!
Made this today and was very happy. The whole family loved it!
I’m so glad it was a hit!
I made the Easy Peach Cobbler for our dinner dessert tonight. There is now a small mouse hole in the corner of the cobbler. Of course I had to sample the cobbler so I could rate the recipe. The cobbler was so easy to make. The peaches are flavourful and juicy and the topping is crunchy…a perfect combination. I give this peach cobbler a full 5 out of 5. I will definitely be making it again.
Ha, I do the same thing :). I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious and easy to make!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hands down my FAVORITE peach recipe! So glad it’s the August Cooking Club recipe!
I’m so glad you loved it!
Made this the other day and it’s a big hit! I used 7 peaches but they were on the small side so next time I will definitely put in more. I would have liked more of the crumble as well, is there a way to increase the amount w/o ruining it? I love that there’s the vegan option! Thank you for a delicious recipe!
I think you could increase the crumble quantity by 1 1/2 and it’ll still bake the same. I’m so glad you enjoyed!
This recipe was an absolute hit in my home!, We loved it!
The mix between fruity, the crunchiness and a little biy salty of the crumble, mixed with the softness of the ice cream was absolute perfection!
Also it was so simple it will become my to go dessert of the summer.
Would it work if I try it with apples instead of peaches?
Hi Lucia, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think it could work with apples if you cooked them first as we do in this recipe: https://www.loveandlemons.com/apple-crumble/
I don’t usually make desserts, but I’m glad I tried this recipe! I loved the contrasting flavors of the vanilla ice cream, peaches, and lemon juice.
I’m so glad you loved it!
Made this for dinner guests using fresh local peaches and it was a big hit. Love how simple it was to make!
I’m so glad you loved it!
I love how simple this recipe was. It looked like a crisp in the photos but it definitely tastes like a cobbler! You can’t go wrong with this!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
